# 2022 Australian Open – Men's doubles

Thanasi Kokkinakis and Nick Kyrgios defeated Matthew Ebden and Max Purcell in the final, 7–5, 6–4 to win the men's doubles tennis title in an all-Australian final at the 2022 Australian Open. They became the first all-Australian pair to win the title since Todd Woodbridge and Mark Woodforde in 1997, and the first wildcard champions in the Open Era. It marked the first all-Australian final since 1980.
Throughout their run, Kokkinakis and Kyrgios (dubbed "the Special K's") generated more fan fervor than usual for a doubles team. The New York Times wrote that their "mix of skill and showmanship ... has turned their matches into raucous celebrations".
Ivan Dodig and Filip Polášek were the defending champions, but did not participate together. Dodig partnered Marcelo Melo and lost to Simone Bolelli and Fabio Fognini in the second round, while Polášek partnered John Peers and lost to Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos in the quarterfinals.
